Introducing the Bat Flip Barometer

Baseball is fun and bat flips are good. If you think there’s an argument to be had about this, I can’t help you. Go cheer for the Cardinals.

When you see a particularly great bat flip, you know it. It’s instantaneously memorable and it makes whatever preceded it (mostly home runs, unless you’re Yasiel Puig) better by a factor of 10. But how do you pick the best bat flips? Hard, objective (i.e., totally subjective) numbers.

Thanks to Matt Lyons, we know where some of the Indians stand on the flipping of bats, but how good are they at actually flipping said bats?
